I visit reddit occasionally and honestly, Reddit is also just reddit recycled content. I'm not on there nearly as much as I used to be and I still see the same fucking posts and videos on popular, many of which are just karma bots.
I think I see more new stuff on Lemmy. Not usually good stuff, but at least it's novel. Or very very old memes, but that's not recycled reddit, that's more recycling icanhascheeseburger or some shit, and I'm down for that.
